hey guys, anyone having problems with the fuel tank on the 8ight-t? I know they have the spring and lid on ebay for replacement, but is it a problem point?

Mine won't go to WOT. Gets to a bit less than half RPM and dies. Tried everything, then swapped in a different tank off my ofna, and it revved full throttle fine without issues

Fuel filter is good - used pipe tape, no leaks. Tested tank underwater, I may not be blowing hard enough but it was ok. I used a pressure vacuum thing (mity-vac) and got some bubbles at the lid, but that may have been too much pressure.

So far things point to tank (tubing is new..). Anyone else have issues with it? Just replace cap and spring and good to go? Opinions?

Thanks!
